The oldest of Harvard’s museums, the Fogg Art Museum was opened to the general public in 1895; surrounding an Italian Renaissance courtyard, the museum features a collection that includes works that represent the history of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present day, with an emphasis on Italian early Renaissance, Nineteenth-Century art from France, and the British pre-Raphaelite works. Also prominent in the museum’s holdings is one of the finest collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks.
